Stefani Is a Southern California Native
Stefani is a great choice to headline the Hollywood Bowl’s milestone opening, because she’s a Southern California native. The No Doubt singer was born in Fullerton, California, which is located in Orange County. She was raised in nearby Anaheim, where Disneyland is located.
However, her relationship with fellow The Voice coach Blake Shelton has led Stefani to branch out from her California girl image. She’s joined Shelton on country duets, and she even performed at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo this week.
In November of last year, Stefani finished up her Just a Girl Las Vegas residency after performing 57 shows since 2018. The star donated $185,000 of the ticket sales to the Cure 4 the Kids Foundation.
